Hello Greg,
As a point of interest, did the uname command in the instructions work
for you?
I got a "no such file or directory" response and I had to copy the
config manually from /boot.
I still have certificate errors but if you find it works, I will try
jessie instead of stretch.

Hi all,
I tried to build a kernel with Okash's speakup patches following the
instructions at:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bytefire/speakup-decext/master/decext-instructions.txt>
I got the kernel source from the URL given in the instructions. I
extracted it, got rid of drivers/staging/speakup, and extracted
speakup.tgz in place of that, which gave me back
drivers/staging/speakup. I applied tty-export.patch with no errors,
getting exactly the output Okash gave in the instructions. I put a
.config into place in the linux source tree, and ran make oldconfig
accepting defaults for all new options.
I then ran make, which seemed to make it almost until the end, before
it came to a halt with this:
"
drivers/staging/speakup/speakup_soft.c:25:87: fatal error: linux/sched/signal.h: No such file or directory
#include <linux/sched/signal.h> /* schedule(), signal_pending(), TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE */
^
compilation terminated.
scripts/Makefile.build:300: recipe for target 'drivers/staging/speakup/speakup_soft.o' failed

"
I did some web searching, but couldn't find anything definite about
that particular header file, other than that it seems to be new in the
latest kernel, seemingly a replacement for sched.h. So, what is
supposed to generate that header file, or where am I supposed to get
it from please? This is on a devuan jessie 32-bit x86 system. Thanks.
Greg

Also, these steps can be used to test all the synths and not just decext. The speakup.tgz archive contains all the patches I last submitted.
So please use these steps to test other synths too!
Thanks,
Okash
